Consider this a remake of my Why might a group of insects evolve to resemble humans? post. Fairies are a common trope in fantasy works some characteristics of fairies and their associates are:
- Fairies are 11in tall,
- they have human level intelligence (optional)
- are bipedal but also have wings,
- live in large groups,
- have an average life span of 3 year,
- look surprisingly humanoid. (optional)
Now given these characteristics, so what species would fairies have evolved from, what evolutionary pressures would lead to them?
NOTE: magic does not exist in my story
